Brilliant stuff, Venom... it was great to see (and hear) your experience! I've only played the game a little in VR mode but I can relate to your feeling! I noticed that you've renamed your system as Venom Space
The feeling of flying out into space and then looking back at the planet, it was a real moment of joy. Besides VR, the last time a game made me feel like that was the first time I played Wii Sports with the Wii motion controllers. Moving them in the air and it controlling the game was so magical. Obviously VR graphics are not as sharp as 2D but its beauty is that sense of presence that makes you feel you are in the environment. I certainly wouldn't be able to play the whole game in VR, mainly because of the menus and items not being sharp enough, but I think I will play in 2D with regular shorter VR sessions. Venom Space was semi-accidental!

My attention was then focused on making my first trip to a space station. This was cool as I could edit my appearance and then I teleported back to the base. It feels like I'm gonna get sucked right back into this game!
Building a base is always a great way to leave your mark. How do you switch to first person? I didn't know about space stations.

It could be fun to get a GRcade posse together but then I started thinking about the practicalities. Is it like when you are kid with your bike and you meet with the other neighbourhood kids on bikes? It seems like fun but you end up drifting along to different places. Sometimes to the park, sometimes to a sweetshop that sells edible paper. Sometimes to the back of an old warehouse area to make a camp fire. What would be good is in the next version you could enter other peoples games, even if they don't want you to, then become space pirates and rob them and destroy their base. Unless somebody else did it to you first.
